Corrupt judges let a criminal get away with treason and run for president. Propagandists masquerading as journalists lied to enough people that the criminal won. Then the criminal sold a half share in the presidency to the world's richest man, whom no one voted for. That's what happened, folks.

It's a genocide.
There were 69 journalists killed in all of WW2. 63 in Vietnam. The Israelis have killed more than 200 in Gaza. Deliberate murder to silence reporting.

Except for us in Gaza trapped inside a vast cage, subjected to every form of killing, starvation, and terror.

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.
The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.
No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.
